REMARKS  AND  EXPLANATIONS. 


THE  following  EXERCISES  have  been  prepared  with  the 
twofold  purpose  of  furnishing  to  the  student  material  for 
translating  into  German,  and  of  assisting  him  in  the  analysis 
and  translation  of  the  more  difficult  illustrations  in  Brandt's 
German  Grammar. 

That  examples  from  the  German  classics  are  the  proper 
kind  of  illustrations  for  a  text-book  of  such  high  order  and 
merit  as  Professor  Brandt's,  cannot  be  doubted.  Had  the 
author  illustrated  his  rules  by  means  of  sentences  especially 
adapted  to  the  understanding  of  the  young  student,  the  latter, 
upon  completing  the  course  in  grammar,  would  not  be  well 
prepared  to  read  and  enjoy  the  works  of  the  great  German 
authors.  If  the  examples  found  in  Brandt's  Grammar,  in 
some  instances,  force  the  student  to  greater  application,  he 
will  feel  amply  repaid  for  his  extra  labor  when  he  takes  up  the 
study  of  the  masterpieces  of  German  literature. 

At  all  events,  the  present  Exercises  will,  it  is  hoped,  enable 
even  the  beginner  to  derive  the  full  benefit  from  the  large 
number  of  excellent  illustrations  drawn  from  the  acknowledged 
masters  of  German  style  and  embodied  in  Brandt's  Grammar. 
Should  he  find  any  difficulty  in  translating  any  one  of  them,

he  has  only  to  refer,  by  means  of  the  table  given  below,  to  the 
corresponding  English  Exercise,  and  he  will  find  that  one  or 
more  of  the  English  sentences  will  greatly  aid  him  in  the 
understanding  of  the  German  example. 

The  Grammar  referred  to  throughout  the  book  (including 
the  Vocabulary)  is  Brandt's  Grammar  of  the  German  Lan- 
guage. Paragraphs  to  be  read  over  merely  are  put  in  (  ). 

In  the  Exercises,  words  in  [  ]  should  not  be  translated, 
while  those  in  (  )  are  required  by  the  German  idiom. 

The  cognate  mark  (  +  )  is  put,  as  a  rule,  only  where  even 
the  beginner  can  recognize  the  common  origin  of  English  and 
German  words  after  having  had  his  attention  called  to  it. 
When  the  German  word  is  preceded  by  the  article,  the  +  is 
placed  before  the  latter. 

Figures  at  the  end  of  sentences  refer  to  those  sections  in 
the  Grammar  in  which  more  or  less  of  the  material  required 
for  the  German  sentence  may  be  found. 

The  VOCABULARY  contains  all  words  not  explained  in  the 
notes,  except  such  grammatical  words  (pronouns,  prepositions, 
ate.)  as  are  easily  found  in  the  very  paragraphs  to  which  the 
student  is  referred  for  each  exercise.  The  notes  under  the 
first  twenty  exercises  are  so  full  as  to  do  away  with  the  use  of 
the  Vocabulary,

REMARK.—  It  is  not  intended  that  the  rules  on  the  Declension  of  Nouns,  as  pre- 
sented in  the  Grammar,  should  be  committed  to  memory.  The  student,  by  carefully 
perusing  them,  in  connection  with  the  written  exercises,  will  learn  to  observe  closely 
the  various  forms  ;  and,  in  the  future,  he  should  learn,  as  far  as  possible,  the  Nom. 
Sing.,  Gen.  Sing.,  and  Nom.  Plur.  of  each  noun,  as  all  the  other  cases  can  be  given 
when  these  are  known. 

1.  The  dog  has  caught  a  badger.  2.  My  friend  has  seen 
two  hawks.  3.  The  youth  has  been  in  (the)  prison.  4.  We

month  has  thirty  days.  6.  What  have  you  heard  ?  7.  I

not  free  from  tribulations.  9.  (The)  salmons  are  larger

RBMABK.— In  the  following  pages,  any  new  nouns  that  are  given  will  be  followed 
by  the  terminations  of  the  genitive  singular  and  of  the  nominative  plural,  if  there  is 
any  ;  if  the  vowel  is  modified  it  will  be  indicated  thus,  -. 

The  other  cases  may  then  be  found  as  follows  : 

1.  SINGULAR  :  Dative  =  nominative,  but  1)  when  the  genitive  ends  in  e§,  the  e  is  usu- 
ally retained  in  the  dat. ;  2)  when  the  gen.  ends  in  en,  the  same  ending  is  found  in  the 
dative. 

Accusative  =  nominative,  but  when  the  genitive  ends  in  en,  the  same  ending  is 
found  in  the  accusative.  The  words  under  46,  4,  end  in  en  in  the  dative  and  accu&a- 
tive. 

Rule  :  Feminine  nouns  do  not  vary  in  the  singular. 

2.  PLURAL  :  Genitive  and  accusative  =  nominative  ;  the  dative  always  ends  in  n.

Exercise  IV. 

Syntax  of  the  Gender— 159  to  163. 

REMARK.— The  gender  of  nouns  has  to  be  learned  mainly  by  practice,  and  the  stu- 
dent should  therefore  endeavor  to  learn  with  each  German  noon  the  article  (ber,  tie,  or 
tas)  belonging  to  it.  The  rnles  in  the  Grammar  (159,  ff.),  however,  will  be  of  great 
service  ;  some  in  a  practical  way  (e.g.,  159,  161,  3.  164),  and  others,  because  they 
will  help  the  student  in  getting  an  insight  into  the  "genius  of  the  language." 

Wherever  a  large  number  of  examples  are  given,  as  in  these  paragraphs,  it  will 
hardly  repay  the  beginner  to  learn  the  meanings  of  all  of  them  ;  the  nouns  under  16O 
might  be  mentioned,  with  their  meanings,  by  the  teacher,  letting  the  pupil  state  the 
gender  ;  while  the  gender  of  those  under  161  maybe  determined  by  their  form  alone, 
without  reference  to  their  meaning. 

1.  (The)  Queen  Louisa  was  a  noble  woman.  2.  The  Danube, 
the  Oder,  the  Elbe,  the  Weser,  and  the  Ehine  are  the  largest 
rivers  of  Germany.  3.  Many  prefer  beautiful  Spain  to  colder

heathen.  6.  The  witches  were  dancing  on  the  heath.  7.  The 
workman  has  placed  his  earnings  in  the  bank.  8.  The  merit 
of  the  minister  is  great.  9.  The  boy  has  again  lost  his  knife. 
10.  Bring  me  the  third  volume  of  Bancroft's  history.  11.  Is 
not  this  blue  ribbon  too  dark  ?  12.  The  knight  has  a  shield, 
the  merchant  a  sign-board.  13.  What  a  fool  you  are!  14. 
In  the  gate  [there]  is  a  small  door.  15.  The  marble  of 
Carrara  is  white.  16.  "Bands  of  robbers  move  about." 

3.  Prefer,  $tef>en  —  »or  (see  137 ;  350).  4.  Little  loy,  bad  tf naMein

beiet;  the  k-,  in  the  obsolete  verb  knebeten,  to  Uess,  is  of  course  no  prefix,

ge-  in  the  p.  p.  (see  166).  7.  Young  lady,  ba3  juiuje  Sftabdjen  (see  167). 

8.  Mary,   as  a  historical  name,  2ftari'a ;   in  other  cases    usually  SDfam'e.

Linz,  a  city  in  Austria.  The  example  set  at  Linz  ;  gegefcett,  being  used 
attributively,  must  precede  the  noun  and  be  declined  ;  ju  £tn$  depends 
upon  gegektt,  and  therefore  must  precede  it  (353).  Hence,  we  have  to 
render  the  phrase  :  "  The  at  Linz  given  example."  4  and  5.  See  274,  4. 
This  use  of  the  present  tense  is  one  to  which  most  students  find  it  diffi- 
cult to  accustom  themselves.  The  adverb  fdjon,  in  such  cases,  implies 
that  the  time  mentioned  seems  long,  while  the  adverb  erjl  conveys  the 
opposite  idea.  Analogous  to  this  use  of  the  present  tense  is  the  use  of 
the  preterite  (in  German)  for  the  pluperfect  (in  English)  ;  e,  g.,  We  had 
already  been  there  three  days,  nrir  ttxmn  fdjon  bret  Stage  ba.  7.  Exception-

Four  Thousand  Idiomatical  Verbs,  Sentences,  Familiar  Phrases, 
and  Proverbs.  16mo,  332  pages.  90  cents. 

This  Series  has  been  adopted  for  use  at :  — 

Harvard  College,  Johns  Hopkins  University, 

Yale  College,  Columbia  College,  N.  Y., 

Williams  College,  Hamilton  College,  N.  Y., 

Bowdoin  College,  Washington  and  J.  College,  Pa., 

Wabash  College,  Ind.,  Adelbert  College,  Ohio, 

State  University,  Ind.,  Marietta  College,  Ohio, 

Norfolk  College,  Va.,  Wesleyan  University,  Ohio, 
Washington  University,  Mo.,        Iowa  State  University, 

University  of  Kansas,  Olivet  College,  Mich. ; 

and  in  numerous  High  Schools  and  Academies  throughout  the  country. 


These  books  have  been  prepared  for  all  who  wish  to  begin  or  continue 
the  study  of  French,  and  by  the  simplicity  of  the  language,  the  careful 
progression  of  the  exercises,  and  the  thoroughness  of  the  treatment 
are  adapted  to  the  wants  of  all  pupils  between  the  ages  of  twelve  and 
seventeen.  The  First  Course  in  itself  supplies  all  the  instruction 
necessary  for  reading  intelligently  easy  French  prose,  and  the  subse- 
quent volumes  aim  to  develop  a  mastery  of  all  the  principles  of  syntax, 
as  well  as  ease  and  fluency  in  French  conversation. 


Chardenal's  French  Series. 


The  First  and  Second  Courses  contain  carefully  graded  extracts 
from  Jules  Verne,  Erckmann-Chatrian,  E.  About,  Beranger,  Louis 
Blanc,  Alexandre  Dumas,  Balzac,  Lamartine,  Victor  Hugo,  and  other 
modern  writers,  together  with  complete  vocabularies;  thus  affording 
interesting  instruction  in  reading  in  addition  to  the  usual  translation 
of  exercises.  The  last  book  of  the  series  contains  a  long  list  of  French 
idioms  and  phrases,  arranged  in  sections,  with  exercises  for  translation 
and  retranslation  on  each  section. 

Prof.  Schele  De  Vere,  University  of  Virginia.  —  After  a  painstaking 
examination,  I  can  endorse  Chardenal's  French  Course  as  the  work  of  an 
experienced,  highly-gifted  teacher.  The  Junior  and  the  Advanced  Courses  are 
admirably  arranged,  and  cannot  fail  to  bring  the  student  almost  impercep- 
tibly forward,  till  teacher  and  pupil  alike  feel  that  the  task  is  accomplished. 
Among  new  features  the  carefully  chosen  vocabularies,  and  above  all  the 
collection  of  idioms  deserve  special  commendation.  I  am  sure  the  volumes 
need  only  to  be  well  known  to  be  very  generally  adopted. 

Prof.  Henry  Johnson,  Bowdoin  College,  Me.  —  They  are  excellent  text- 
books, and  a  teacher  who  would  speak  French  to  and  with  his  class  could 
not  fail  to  use  them  with  great  advantage.  I  use  them  in  our  advanced 
class  here. 

Prof.  A.  M.  Elliott,  Johns  Hopkins  University,  Md.  —  We  have  adopted 
both  the  Advanced  and  First  Courses  in  our  work  in  this  University.  I  like 
them  better  than  anything  else  I  have  seen  in  English. 

Prof.  S.  B.  Platner,  Adalbert  College,  Ohio.  —  I  am  using  Chardenal's 
Series  with  my  classes,  and  am  exceedingly  well  pleased  with  the  books. 
They  are  by  far  the  best  that  I  know  of  for  the  purpose  intended. 

Prof.  Alc^e  Fortier,  Tulane  University,  New  Orleans.  —  I  find  the  books 
excellent,  and  well  suited  to  give  to  the  pupil  a  practical,  as  well  as  a  theoreti- 
cal, knowledge  of  the  language. 

Prof.  Karcher,  Royal  Military  Academy,  Woolwich.  —  Le  recueil  d'exer- 
cices  public  par  M.  Chardenal  repond  parfaitement,  selon  moi,  au  but  que 
1'auteur  se  propose.  .  .  .  En  un  mot,  ces  exercices  apprendront  aux  eleves 
a  parler  francais,  au  lieu  de  se  servir  de  phrases  litteralement  traduites  de 
Tanglais. 

Prof.  Ch.  Cassal,  LL.D.,  University  College,  London,  —  Je  puis  vous  dire 
en  toute  sincerite,  que  vous  avez  fait  un  travail  bon  et  utile.  Le  recueil 
d'expressions  idiomatiques  est  excellent  et  ferait  k  lui  seul  le  succes  de  yotre 
livre.

GERMAN   TEXT  BOOKS. 

Brandt's  German  Grammar.  A  Grammar  of  the  German 
Language  for  College  Use,  by  Professor  H.  C.  G.  BRANDT,  Hamil- 
ton College,  New  York.  Fourth  Edition.  12mo,  290  pages. 
$1.25. 

Brandt's  First  Book  in  German,  containing  the  Accidence 
and  Syntax  of  the  Grammar,  together  with  Lodeman's  Manual  of 
Exercises  for  Translation.  12mo,  262  pages.  $1.00. 

The  Accidence  and  S}rntax  are  the  same  in  the  above  two 
books ;  the  Grammar  contains,  in  addition,  chapters  on  Pho- 
nology, Historical  View  of  Inflection,  History  of  the  Language, 
and  on  Word-formation.  Its  distinguishing  features  are :  (1) 
complete  separation  of  inflection  and  syntax ;  (2)  the  histori- 
cal treatment  of  S}'ntax ;  (3)  the  development  of  grammar  in 
the  light  of  modern  philology ;  (4)  the  scientific  analysis  of 
sounds  and  accent. 

Prof.  Henry  Wood,  Ph.D.,  Johns  Hopkins  University.  —  I  like  the 
grammar  very  much,  and  shall  introduce  it  immediately  to  all  my  classes. 
It  is  a  gift  to  scholars  that  will  be  highly  appreciated. 

Prof.  Wm.  H.  Carpenter,  Columbia  College.  —  It  marks  a  distinct  ad- 
vance in  language  instruction  in  America,  and  ought  to  be  in  the  hands  of 
every  teacher  and  advanced  student  of  the  German  language. 

Prof.  Edward  S.  Joynes,  South  Carolina  College.  —  In  its  own  sphere 
Brandt's  German  Grammar  is  facile  princeps,  and  whatever  helps  to  extend 
its  use  will  be  a  benefit  to  German  scholarship. 

Prof.  Albert  S.  Cook,  University  of  California,  —  I  consider  it  the  most 
scientific  grammar  of  the  modern  German  language  now  before  the  public, 
—  the  only  one  that  does  full  justice  to  the  discoveries  of  modern  philology. 

Lodeman's  Manual  of  Exercises  for  Translation  into  Ger- 
man. Prepared  to  accompany  Brandt's  German  Grammar,  by 
Professor  A.  LODEMAX,  Michigan  State  Normal  School.  12mo. 
50  cents.

Allyn  6*  Bacon,  Publishers.  364,  Washington  Street,  Boston. 

Brandt's  German  Reader  for  Beginners.  With  Notes 
and  Vocabulary.  12mo,  400  pages.  $1.25. 

The  aim  of  the  editor  has  been  to  prepare  a  book  which,  first 
of  all,  shall  be  practical,  supplying  sufficient  material  to  enable 
the  pupil  to  read  with  ease  ordinary  German  prose. 

It  is  progressive,  leading  step  by  step  from  the  simplest  prose 
and  poetry  to  matter  of  usual  difficulty. 

It  is  interesting,  containing  a  large  variety  of  selections,  none 
of  them  trivial,  and  many  of  permanent  value. 

It  is  attractive  in  appearance,  the  generous  space  between  the 

lines  enabling  the  student  to  read  the  German  text  with  ease. 
The  extracts  are  divided  into  six  sections  :  — 

SECTION  I.  Easy  Prose,  containing  selections  from  Niebuhr's  Heroen- 
Geschichten,  and  Grimm's  and  Andersen's  Fairy  Tales. 

SECTION  II.  Easy  Poetry,  containing  such  specimens  from  Heine,  Goethe, 
Claudius,  Chamisso,  etc.,  as  present  the  least  difficulty. 

SECTION  III.  Legends  and  Tales,  giving  somewhat  harder  prose  from 
Richter's  Deutsche  Sagen ;  short  complete  stories  from  Auerbach,  Hack- 
lander,  and  Erler ;  and  an  episode  adapted  from  Freytag's  Soil  und 
Haben. 

SECTION  IV.  Songs  and  Lyrics,  consisting  of  slightly  more  difficult 
poems  from  Uhland,  Schiller,  Heine,  Goethe,  Geibel,  Arndt,  Riickert, 
Kb'rner,  Burger,  etc. 

SECTION  V.  A  Comedy  by  Benedix,  Versalzen,  as  an  example  of  the 
colloquial  language  of  educated  people. 

SECTION  VI.  Historical  Prose,  containing  extracts  from  the  popular 
histories  of  Grube,  Luttringhaus,  and  Dielitz. 


Schiller's  der  Neffe  als  Onkel.  Edited,  with  Notes  and 
Vocabulary,  by  Professor  C.  F.  RADDATZ,  Baltimore  City  College. 
16mo.  50  cents. 

This  comedy  is  so  well  adapted  to  the  wants  of  beginners  that  it  is  sur- 
prising that  no  adequate  edition  of  it  has  hitherto  been  published  in  this 
country.  By  a  careful  revision  of  the  text,  ample  notes,  and  a  complete 
vocabulary,  the  editor  has  tried  to  meet  this  want.
